EMPTY CUPBOARD/FRIDGE SPECIAL

We've all had that day - food in the house is running short. You can't get to the grocery store for whatever reason. You need something hearty for dinner. This was my solution on one of those days.

Steps:

  • Thaw chicken breasts (if frozen).
  • In a medium pot, combine water, creamy tomato soup, bullion cubes, and 1 tsp of the olive oil. Bring to a boil.
  • While waiting for the pot to boil, heat a medium saucepan with the remaining oil over medium heat.
  • Dice chicken breasts into 1/2 inch cubes.
  • Once water/soup mixture is boiling, add rice and reduce heat to low, so that the rice mixture barely simmers.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients (except the chicken, minced garlic, salt and black pepper) to the rice and stir thoroughly.
  • Add chicken and minced garlic to saucepan and cook thoroughly. Near the end of the cooking, add salt and black pepper.
  • Once the chicken has cooked thoroughly, drain off most of the excess oil, but be careful to keep the minced garlic in the pan.
  • Add chicken to rice mixture.
  • Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes (cooking time may vary, depending on the stove) until the rice is tender.
  • Fluff rice and serve hot.

LUCILLE BALL SPECIAL

This is a great recipe for a kind of goulash thing, not sure why it's called LBS and not goulash, but oh well - came from my mom. Hearty, pretty easy to make, and you can store and microwave leftovers for the next week!

MILLIONAIRE'S PIE

This luscious, silky pie calls for a baked pie shell, and the flaky contrast with the gooey filling is really good. But if you're running short on time, you can substitute a graham cracker crust to eliminate that step. Do remember to chill the pineapple though. Simply put the can in the refrigerator as soon as you bring it home from the grocery store. Taken from the "From Storebought to Homemade" cookbook. Note: cooking time is refrigeration time.

Steps:

  • If using a traditional pastry shell, bake it according to package directions.
  • Combine the cream cheese, sugar, pineapple and Cool Whip; blend well.
  • Transfer the filling to the pie shell and, if you wish, sprinkle the top with chopped pecans.
  • Cover and chill for several hours.

1 pie shell, fully baked (or graham cracker crust)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained and chilled
1 (12 ounce) container Cool Whip, at room temperature
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all but the mint leaf and let it chill. I would let the mix sit and soak for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor. Please note, the ingredients do not have to be precise. This is a hard to mess up recipe.
  • Pour over ice, add mint leaf, and serve!

Nutrition Facts : Calories 178.3, Sodium 7.7, Carbohydrate 10.8, Fiber 0.1, Sugar 6.1, Protein 0.2

750 ml red wine (this is your typical bottle of wine)
4 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
random fresh fruit (I like to use frozen peaches and berries)
mint leaf

EMPTY THE CUPBOARDS SOUP

This is a very hearty soup. I'm not a fan of soup broth so there's not much and my sister calls it stew-soup. Even my very picky-eater niece gobbled this up! Very filling. This serves a lot so it would be good for pot luck and if you left out the potatoes it would be perfect for OAMC
